In this Saturday discussion the dialog focuses on what students have seen in their interior work and Guy explains that awareness of all that goes on within us and around us is the true nature of unconditional love.

Thoughts and emotions are actually things independent of the person who believes that he or she is responsible for their actions. You live in an invisible sea of thoughts and feelings and emotions all of which are a product of a system that is constantly recirculating itself.

Saying "I" to the painful resistance you feel at the outset of any unwanted moment is like turning on a blender, wrapping your hands around it, and then thinking that your name is slice and dice!...

In this special 35-minute talk, Guy introduces a new inner-life exercise to help students use the five senses to focus and intentionally place their attention. The ability to command our attention allows us to see the fact of the present moment and build a bridge to freedom itself.

How much time do we spend each day in some kind of negative self-absorption? Probably more time than we would care to admit. Negative self-absorption is really a form of unconsciously taking something from ourselves in order to ensure that we will continue feeling the way we do. Whenever we are negatively self-absorbed we are actually absorbed in what we don't want! We must catch ourselves ov...

Feeling sorry for yourself is not an action...anymore than reliving some old regret has the power to change your present nature. Struggle with yourself; reaching takes disturbing the one who rests; yet, as surely as a seedling breaks out of her earthly tomb, so will you realize the world above you...once you commit to do the interior work needed to attain it.

In this short talk Guy describes how in the moment when we feel stuck we can help ourselves and those around us by letting Life reveal that we are everyone we meet.

Classroom Talk: 5/16/2003 - There is no human being on earth with the power to grant us what our heart of hearts longs for: the end of that empty feeling that as we are, we are simply not enough. And the struggle to resolve this unwanted feeling -- by selling our souls to win the approval of others -- is to run off a cliff while chasing the end of a rainbow!

No one knows half as much as they pretend to, and -- because of life's uncertainties -- the other half of what they know only holds up half the time. Do the math: at best, these people are only 25% certain 25% of the time, which means the rest of their life is spent fearing you may discover their secret self-doubt. Set yourself free of all those who would tell you what you should be doing with

When it comes to being free, there is no such thing as the "next best thing." Therefore, it is the far wiser soul that agrees to "die" to her imagined freedom, than it is to live as a fool who realizes, too late, that he traded his soul for a servitude made comfortable by compromise.

Never forget the truth that follows, and freedom is nearer than you think: no real spiritual effort is ever in vain, even when we’re given to see -- as result of our inner work -- some low estate into which we’ve temporarily fallen...

Once we realize the only thing that makes some painful moment seem impassable is nothing more than our reluctance to assume responsibility for what that same moment has come to teach us about ourselves... we are well on our way to realizing a new order of freedom wherein all things are possible.
